When writer friends get big news…💪🏼

If you need a break from everything going on [waves hand at burning world], WHERE THE BONES LIE, my twisty California thriller about a disgraced Hollywood fixer and a decades-old missing persons case, is out today from Datura Books! Lnk in 🧵, of course. #booktwt #mystery

Went on the road with my good pal Robert Gipe. S.A. Cosby S.A.Cosby & I talked They All Fall the Same in Richmond, VA. Gipe & I did gigs in Asheville & Hillsborough, NC & Charleston, WV. Also hit Cullowhee, NC for the Spring Lit Fest & Lexington, KY’s Carnegie Ctr.

Encouraging and challenging notes from my agents on novel #3. Excited to dive in and make this a winner.

Oh. Yes.

Congratulations to Henry Wise, winner of Best First Novel by an American Author for Holy City (Grove Atlantic – Atlantic Monthly Press). #Edgars2025

Don’t make me find the tweet from last year when I said Henry had this award in the bag. Massive congrats, Henry Wise !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Working through revisions on All Your Yesterdays. Nothing I’ve written has come as naturally to me as this novel. Excited to get it right and get it into the right hands.

S.A.Cosby Scott Blackburn Ashley Erwin And another thing...

Got a fun little noir piece up at Tough! redneck-press.blogspot.com/2025/05/keeper…

So it's getting close to lunch time - instead of running out for fast food or a slice of pizza, take a few minutes instead to read Scott Blackburn 's noir story at TOUGH! It's a fun, gritty slice of noir life. Very well-done and totally enjoyable!

Scott Blackburn Dang this is good, Scott. Give us some more!

Boomshakalaka!

This popped up on my road, so I added a little treat. 😎

The fact this happened within miles of my fictional setting in It Dies with You, which involves dead bodies in a salvage yard…👀

Sending my first round of revisions on All Your Yesterdays to my agents next week. Whether it matters or not, I’m confident and excited to get this out to editors in the near future. Dangerous Minds/Out of the Furnace with Lou Berney Dark Ride pace/vibes.

My first revision of my new novel added 5,500 words, much like my first revision of It Dies with You. I’ll take that as a good omen.
